What is the best way to handle vendor reps storing their sample inventory or sales materials? If the lease agreement states the tenant agrees to use the space for property wholly owned by the tenant then what procedure do you use to accommodate these vendor reps?...Today, 04:29 PM

A long time lurker but finally registered. We use PTI keypads at several of our places. The other week I saw an announcement that they have been sold again. I have not seen any body talk about it. What is your thoughts?Today, 01:34 PM
